Educational Classes

Education and outreach is a key component of Upper Trinity's Water Conservation and Watershed Protection programs. Upper Trinity provides educational resources in a variety of formats, such as virtual and in-person classes (Water Talks) and how-to videos.

Join us during these events to increase your knowledge of irrigation, landscaping and watershed protection to help save water, money, and protect water quality. Below is a listing of past and upcoming educational opportunities that residents are encouraged to take part in.

Deep and infrequent watering is the name of the game to establish a deep plant root structure capable of weathering our long hot -and often dry summers. Using a cycle and soak watering strategy is the best way to achieve deep roots. We will go over how to program a basic irrigation controller for cycle and soak watering and how to get the most out of local watering recommendations.

Make every drop count! Drip irrigation is an extremely effective way to water plants by delivering water slowly and directly to the soil for plants to use. We’ll discuss drip irrigation systems basics as well as how long to water with a drip system and tips on quick fixes to keep your drip system working properly.
